{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: He has black hair in ''[[Animated Adaptation|Supernatural: The Animation]]'' and very light blond hair in the prequel comics.
* [[The Alcoholic]]: By Season 7, he's about two steps away from becoming one, if he isn't already.
* [[Anti-Hero]]
* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]}}: Repeatedly. To the point that it's almost a [[Running Gag]].
* [[Badass]]

Line 17 ⟶ 19:
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Yeah, just try to hurt Sam and let see how well it goes for you.
* [[Big Eater]]
* [[The Big Guy]]: Subverted -- DeanSubverted—Dean is the shorter of the duo, but is also the bruiser of the two.
** [[Little Big Brother]]
* [[Blessed with Suck]]: {{spoiler|Dean is totally immune to the hunger-inducing powers of [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse|Famine]], which seems pretty cool. Except that Famine points out it's due to the fact that Dean is so dead inside that no form of self-indulgence would fill the void.}}
Line 75 ⟶ 77:
 
 
=== Sam Winchester ([[Jared Padalecki]]) ===

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Anti-Anti-Christ]]}}

* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Abnormal]]: {{spoiler|After drinking tons of demon blood}} and again {{spoiler|after he [[The Soulless|loses his soul]]}}.

[[File:john-winchester-now-then_4359then 4359.jpg|frame]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence]]}}
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: He doesn't show the depths of his affection for his sons too much, but when he does, it tends to be both [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|sweet]] and [[Tear Jerker|saddening]].
Line 154 ⟶ 159:
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: With Dean, [[Character Development|although lately Dean has realized how flawed John was and loses a lot of his hero-worship towards him]]. He also made Sam {{spoiler|and Adam}} feel as if they had this relationship with him.
 
=== Mary Winchester (Samantha Smith, Amy Gumenick) ===
 
[[File:Senza_titoloSenza titolo-1_72341 7234.jpg|frame]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Action Girl]]: Well, she ''was'' a hunter when she was younger...}}
* {{spoiler|[[Action Girlfriend]]: While John was still a sweet, kind and innocent person, his girlfriend was busy kicking monster ass.}}
Line 178 ⟶ 185:
* [[Woman in White]]
 
=== Adam Milligan (Jake Abel) ===
 
[[File:supernatural57724_4916supernatural57724 4916.jpg|frame]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
* {{spoiler|[[Back From the Dead]]: Well, he IS a Winchester. It's what they do.}}
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Back from the Dead]]: Well, he IS a Winchester. It's what they do.}}
* [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]
Line 188 ⟶ 197:
{{quote|'''Sam''': You may not believe it, but Dad *was* trying to protect you.
'''Adam''': {{spoiler|Well, I guess the monster that ate me didn't get that memo.}} }}
* [[Deus Angst Machina]]: For someone who appeared in only three episodes, Adam has had a '''ridiculous''' amount of horrific things happen to him in each one. He's {{spoiler|[[I'm a Humanitarian|eaten alive]] by [[Our Ghouls Are Creepier|Ghouls]], pulled out of [[Heaven]], [[Back Fromfrom the Dead|brought back from the dead]], forced to [[Buried Alive|claw his way out of his own grave]], told (falsely) that he is [[The Chosen One]], kidnapped, held hostage against [[Big Brother Instinct|Dean]], [[Blood From the Mouth|tortured]], [[Big Damn Heroes|rescued]] (only '''NOT'''), [[Demonic Possession|possessed]] by an [[Archangel Michael|archangel]], [[Kill It with Fire|incinerated]], ''disintegrated'', regenerated and, finally, dragged into the worst possible pit of [[Hell]] alongside Lucifer and Michael. And is ''still there''.}} Note that Adam was an [[Ordinary High School Student|Ordinary College Student]] prior to this and that the only reason '''any''' of it happened to him is because he is a...
** [[Long-Lost Relative]]: To Sam and Dean.
* {{spoiler|[[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Ultimately Adam ends up locked in Hell with [[Satan]] and Satan's big brother, with no hope of escape, seeing as how any of the characters who ''could'' free him either don't care about him or are dead.}}
Line 198 ⟶ 207:

=== Bobby Singer (Jim Beaver) ===
 
[[File:supernatural_26306_5_1781supernatural 26306 5 1781.jpg|frame]]

[[File:jo-harvelle-large_5388large 5388.jpg|frame]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]
* {{spoiler|[[Back for the Dead]]}}
Line 281 ⟶ 295:
* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: YMMV, but this it how her interactions with the Winchesters came off to some people, with Jo in the role of a mouthy little sister.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: For Seasons 3 and 4 (because of the fans' hugely negative backlash towards her character).
* [[Rescued Fromfrom the Scrappy Heap]]: Apparently redeemed herself in the eyes of many a fan in Season 5.
* {{spoiler|[[Sacrificial Lion]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Senseless Sacrifice]]}}
* [[Tomboyish Name]]
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: In Season 5.
* [[Unrequited Love Switcheroo]]: With Dean. Okay, not really. {{spoiler|She still has feelings for him, but turns him down when he makes advances on her in "Abandon All Hope..." because she has more self-respect than to give in.}}
 
=== Gordon Walker (Sterling K. Brown) ===
 
[[File:yyyy_9405yyyy 9405.jpg|frame]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass]]
* {{spoiler|[[Cassandra Truth]]: Not quite how ''he'' expected, but alright.}}
Line 312 ⟶ 328:
** {{spoiler|[[Jerkass Has a Point|Funnily enough, technically speaking, he was kinda right]]}}.
 
=== Rufus Turner (Steven Williams) ===
 
[[File:Rufus_Turner_4857Rufus Turner 4857.jpg|frame]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[All a Part of the Job]]: Rufus gives this kind of speech to Dean, by way of pointing out that {{spoiler|regardless of whether or not Dean gets out of his crossroads deal, his best hope is to end up like Rufus (i.e., bitter, secluded and alone, but alive rather than dead)}}.
** {{spoiler|He got killed off three seasons later, btw.}}
Line 334 ⟶ 352:
* [[Twofer Token Minority]]
 
=== Samuel Campbell (Mitch Pileggi) ===
 
[[File:NEAHlFDC661JDG_1_2_2098NEAHlFDC661JDG 1 2 2098.jpg|frame]]'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Anti-Villain]]}}: {{spoiler|Type 2 in Season 6, he is working with Crowley, but only to get his daughter [[Back From the Dead]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Anti-Villain]]}}: {{spoiler|Type 2 in Season 6, he is working with Crowley, but only to get his daughter [[Back from the Dead]].}}
* [[Badass Grandpa]]
* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]}}
** [[Killed Off for Real|Not anymore.]]
* [[Bald of Awesome]]
Line 351 ⟶ 370:
** To be fair, though, [[Jerkass Has a Point|he does have a point]]. {{spoiler|He met Dean once before [[Jerkass Woobie|he died (the first time), got possessed by Azazel, and forced to kill himself and his wife]], [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|all because of Dean's attempt to intervene and change the past]]. Samuel spent a year hunting with a soulless, amoral version of Sam whose cold-blooded actions apparently disturbed Samuel, if "Live Free or Twihard" and the flashbacks in "Unforgiven" are an indication.}} Even so, Samuel apparently did care about his grandsons since he did make attempts to help them in Season 6 {{spoiler|as long as it didn't intefer with his deal with Crowley}} like when he gave Dean the cure for vampirism. When it came down to it, though, {{spoiler|he loved and missed Mary, his daughter, more than he was willing to help Dean and Sam, grandsons he barely knew and were admittedly kind of dickish themselves at that point}}.
 
=== Christian Campbell (Corin Nemec) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Alliterative Name]]
* {{spoiler|[[Black Eyes of Evil]]}}
Line 362 ⟶ 382:
* [[Torture Technician]]: Although, according to {{spoiler|Meg}}, he isn't very good at it.
 
=== Gwen Campbell (Jessica Heafey) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]
* {{spoiler|[[Boom! Headshot!]]: She is killed by a possessed Dean in this manner.}}
Line 372 ⟶ 393:
* [[You Remind Me of X]]: [[Inverted Trope|Gwen believes she reminds Samuel of his daughter, Mary,]] which is why he tries to keep her out of the line of fire.
 
=== Mark Campbell (David Paetkau) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
* [[Long-Lost Relative]]
Line 379 ⟶ 401:
* [[The Quiet One]]: Says less than ten words in both episodes he appears. Immediately [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by Dean.
 
=== Garth Fitzgerald IV (DJ Qualls) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Adorkable]]
* [[Can't Hold His Liquor]]: He got completely drunk after drinking one beer and thought this was a normal thing.
Line 394 ⟶ 417:
 
== Angels ==
=== The Trickster / {{spoiler|[[Archangel Gabriel|Gabriel]]}} (Richard Speight, Jr.) ===
 
[[File:Supernatural-Gabriel_4299Gabriel 4299.jpg|frame]]'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Back for the Dead]]}}
* [[Badass]]: Let's put it this way--heway—he can [[Reality Warper|bend realty]], [[Groundhog Day Loop|warp time]], and is the only character in the entire series to make {{spoiler|[[Satan|Lucifer]] doubt himself}}.
** [[Badass Boast]]: "They call me {{spoiler|Gabriel}}." It's the way he says it, almost as if stating "you have no idea with who you are messing with." His cold and steely smile really helps the [[Badass]] factor.
** [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't talk about his family.
* [[Black Comedy]]: Makes his living on this trope.
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: {{spoiler|Kali took Gabriel's own Angel Blade and killed him with it! Oh wait, that's a fake.}}
* {{spoiler|[[A Death in the Limelight]]: "Hammer of the Gods"}}
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: The crimes he commits in his first episode are typically on [[Asshole Victim|Asshole Victims]]s. Problem is, it's hard to justify murdering a guy just for having an affair or testing on animals. In his second appearance, he hurls a man into a [[Our Wormholes Are Different|wormhole]] just for doubting they exist. [[Jerkass]].
* [[Great Gazoo]]: He comes off as this, albeit a very dark example. The Trickster's one of the funniest characters on the show, responsible for the [[Groundhog Day Loop]] and [[Trapped in TV Land]] incidents, so it's kind of easy to forget he started as a [[Monster of the Week]] who [[Disproportionate Retribution|murdered and traumatized people]] in [[Karmic Trickster|ironically amusing]] ways, mainly [[For the Evulz|for shits and giggles]].
* [[Humans Are Flawed]]: {{spoiler|His speech before Lucifer kills him could be the text written on that page.}}
Line 413 ⟶ 437:
* [[Jerkass]]: Definitely in his first and second episodes.
* [[Jerkass Has a Point]]: Yes, the time loop was cruel; Sam and Dean constantly sacrificing themselves for the other is terrible. Sam did need to accept that he couldn't save Dean.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: {{spoiler|He's a cold-blooded murderer in his first two appearances and gets away twice. He then [[Heel Face Turn|Heel Face Turns]]s and all is forgiven before he's killed by Lucifer, making him one in the sense that, while he dies, he never receives any comeuppance for his previous behavior.}}
* [[Karmic Trickster]]: How he likes to think of himself. He goes way too far, though.
* [[Large Ham]]
Line 431 ⟶ 455:
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: He put Sam through near-endless trauma in his second episode because he was genuinely trying to teach him a lesson: Constantly sacrificing himself to save Dean is only going to make things worse for both.
 
=== Castiel ([[Misha Collins]]) ===
 
[[File:castiel-on-supernatural1_8279supernatural1 8279.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''"I'm the one that gripped you tight and raised you from perdition."''}}
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Adorkable]]
* [[Angelic Beauty]]
Line 444 ⟶ 469:
* [[Asexuality]]: He gets nervous at brothels (though this is arguably due more to him being in a "den of iniquity"), displays curiosity about human sexuality, and has even tried kissing, but for the most part, he's portrayed as asexual.
** However, his future self from a post-appocalyptic world seems to ''love'' orgies.
*** Technically that's not his "future self"--something—something quite obvious as of the end of Season 6--but either an alternate future self or just part of an illusion Zachariah came up with. Why Zachariah chose to have him adopt that personality to show Dean is still a mystery.
** In episode 7.21, "Reading Is Fundamental", {{spoiler|he admits finding it boring to watch over humanity at times - the wars and sex got repetitive}}.
* [[Ascended Extra]]
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: A subversion at first, as he seems to be fairly low-ranked despite how much ass he kicks. As the series goes on, he becomes {{spoiler|less powerful and a traitor, then loses his angelic status entirely}}. BUT ''THEN'', {{spoiler|after standing up to both [[Archangel Michael|Michael]] and [[Satan|Lucifer]], he gets revived by [[God]] (again), more powerful than ever. He then returns to [[Heaven]] as the "new sheriff in town," as Michael, Lucifer and [[Archangel Gabriel|Gabriel]] are all out of the picture, and eventually ends up having to deal with the remaining archangel, Raphael}}.
* {{spoiler|The Atoner: For his actions in Season 6 and going off the deep end as God after he regains his memories mid-way through Season 7.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]}}
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Adorable]]
Line 457 ⟶ 482:
** [[Badass Longcoat]]
** [[Little Miss Badass]]: When he's possessing {{spoiler|Jimmy's daughter Claire}} in "The Rapture."
** [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]
*** Let's just say that whenever Castiel shows up, random acts of badassery are sure to follow.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't mess with the Winchester brothers.
Line 523 ⟶ 548:
{{quote|After Dean tells him that he and Sam have been murdered in "Dark Side of the Moon":
'''Castiel''': (''flatly'') My condolences. }}
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: And how--Cashow—Cas has had the same tie-and-trenchcoat ensemble since his debut in Season 4.
* [[Literal-Minded]]
* {{spoiler|[[Mind Hive]]: At the end of Season 6 and the premiere of Season 7. Although he gives most of them back at the end, he still has some in him.}}
Line 556 ⟶ 581:
{{quote|'''Dean''': Are you...stoned?
'''Castiel''': Generally, yeah. }}
* [[Superpower Lottery]]: Let's see--Castielsee—Castiel has shown [[Super Strength]], [[Nigh Invulnerability]], [[Flight]], [[Teleporters and Transporters|teleportation]], sonic voice, the ability to [[Time Travel|travel through time]], [[Telepathy]], [[Mind Over Matter|telekinesis]], dream-walking, immortality (can't be killed by anything but another angel), an [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form|eye-searing true form]], [[Invisibility]], and possibly other powers he hasn't displayed yet. However, these are implied to be standard to any angel.
** What makes him special, however, is his twice-used, {{spoiler|God-sanctioned, escape-death-free card, for being obedient to God's true will}}.
* [[Tin Man]]
Line 580 ⟶ 605:
* [[You Are in Command Now]]: After the averted Apocalypse and the deaths/imprisonments of the archangels, Castiel finds himself going from a foot soldier (though one in charge of other angels like Uriel) to the acting "sheriff of Heaven", though he was challenged by Raphael, the only remaining archangel.
 
=== Uriel (Robert Wisdom, Matt Ward) ===
 
[[File:Uriel_1385Uriel 1385.jpg|frame]]'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]
* {{spoiler|[[Bald of Evil]]}}
Line 590 ⟶ 616:
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]
* [[Have You Seen My God?]]
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]
* {{spoiler|[[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: By Anna in "On the Head of a Pin."}}
* [[Jerkass]]
Line 602 ⟶ 628:
* {{spoiler|[[Sixth Ranger Traitor]]}}
 
=== Anna Milton (Julie McNiven) ===
 
[[File:annath_1509annath 1509.jpg|frame]]'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Angel Unaware]]
* {{spoiler|[[Back for the Dead]]}}
Line 619 ⟶ 646:
* [[Break the Cutie]]: The ''very first episode she's in'' has her [[Go Among Mad People|locked in an insane asylum for hearing angels talking about the Apocalypse]], [[Orphan's Ordeal|her parents slaughtered by demons to get to her]], [[The Dreaded|Alastair]] [[Cold-Blooded Torture|hunting her down to "interrogate" her]], and [[Light Is Not Good|angels trying to kill her]]. Things... do not get much better for her from then on.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: She was one, before she remembered she was an angel and she regained her powers, which led to:
** [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: After becoming an angel again.
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Redhead]]}}: In "The Song Remains the Same."
Line 639 ⟶ 666:
* {{spoiler|[[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]}}
 
=== Zachariah (Kurt Fuller) ===
 
[[File:supernatural4x17b_5806supernatural4x17b 5806.jpg|frame]]'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]
* {{spoiler|[[Bald of Evil]]}}
Line 658 ⟶ 686:
* [[Smug Snake]]
 
=== [[Satan|Lucifer]] ([[Mark Pellegrino]], {{spoiler|[[Jared Padalecki]]}}, various) ===
 
[[File:img-thing_8837thing 8837.jpg|frame]]'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Boast]]:
Line 685 ⟶ 714:
{{quote|"You know, I never understood you pagans. You're all such...petty little things. Always fighting, always happy to sell out your own kind. No wonder you forfeited this planet to us. ''You'' are worse than humans. You're worse than demons. And yet you claim to be ''gods''! ( {{spoiler|''kills Mercury''}}) And they call ''me'' "prideful.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Hey, he can't be a bad guy; [[Lost|he's trying to keep the Man in Black from leaving the island]]!
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]
* [[It's All About Me]]: How dare God show any attention to the [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|hairless, murderous apes]] than to someone [[Sarcasm Mode|perfect and wonderful]] like Lucifer.
* [[The Kid with the Remote Control]]: Many people call the Apocalypse a temper-tantrum thrown by Lucifer, especially Death.
* [[Kill All Humans]]: His goal in Season 5.
* [[Knight Templar]]: Somewhat. Lucifer viewed humans as [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|murderous apes]] who ruined planet Earth, which he referred to as God's last perfect masterpiece. His [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]] belief, as well as his self-centered, self-righteous personality, cause him to rebel against God and {{spoiler|turn a human into a demon (Lilith) to prove his point about the evil inherent in them}}.
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: "I am an angel."
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Though he had enough sense to change out of his vessel's PJs, he wears the same costume in all his appearances. Wedding ring included.
Line 713 ⟶ 742:
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: Lucifer's trying to summon Death and use him as a pawn. While Sam is trying to stop him, Lucifer says that Sam could just say "yes" and end this conflict. Either Lucifer will get Sam to be his vessel (one of his main goals) or he'll just go ahead and use Death (as well as the other horsemen) to bring destruction on Earth.
** By the season finale, {{spoiler|Lucifer actually gets to use Sam as his vessel just like he had predicted.}}
* [[Yandere (disambiguation)]]: {{spoiler|"I was punished for loving God too much" and "Because I loved [[God|Him]]" (the reason he was cast down by God, or so he claims...)}}
 
=== [[Archangel Raphael|Raphael]] (Demore Barnes, Lanette Ware) ===
 
[[File:Senza_titoloSenza titolo-1_88281 8828.jpg|frame]]'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Arch Enemy]]: To Castiel in Season 6, {{spoiler|with them leading opposite sides of Heaven's civil war}}. Though one can argue that their feud went back to Raphael's first appearance in Season 5.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: One of the four top dogs in [[Heaven]], his mere presence on Earth {{spoiler|caused a massive thunderstorm that blacked out ''the entire Eastern Seaboard of the United States''}}. For a healthy dose of [[Fridge Horror]], he was not the most powerful archangel, so who knows what [[Archangel Michael|Michael]] is really capable of...
Line 744 ⟶ 774:
** {{spoiler|[[Emotionless Girl]]: In his back-up female vessel.}}
 
=== [[Archangel Michael|Michael]] ( {{spoiler|Matthew Cohen, Jake Abel}}) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass]]: He's the first and most powerful of all the angels, exemplified by Castiel asserting that he will simply kill Lucifer if the two were to duel each other, rather than fearing the reverse outcome.
* [[Cain and Abel]]: With Lucifer.
Line 761 ⟶ 792:
* [[Take a Third Option]]: {{spoiler|Michael decided he'd have to make do with Adam because Dean was out of the question. This didn't work out too well for him...}}

* [[All Hallow's Eve]]: Samhain is the inspiration for it in Supernatural.
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: Gets summoned and sent back to hell to never be seen again within the same episode.
Line 939 ⟶ 977:
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Has horrible vision, which is why masks can fool him. However, unlike most demons, he is immune to iron.
 
=== Alastair (Mark Ralston, Christopher Heyerdahl) ===
 
[[File:3402_67123402 6712.jpg|frame]]'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: The lisp, man, the lisp!
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Often. When threatening Dean with a return trip to [[Hell]] because Dean didn't torture him ''well enough'', he replies: "We'll see you '''back in class''', ''bright and early'', Monday morning." Surprisingly maintaining deadpan while kicking Dean's ass.
Line 953 ⟶ 992:
* [[Torture Technician]]
 
=== Crowley ([[Mark Sheppard]]) ===

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Affably Evil]]: Yes, he's evil. But at least he is classy.
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Though it gets less ambiguous with every appearance.
Line 982 ⟶ 1,022:
{{quote|"This isn't [[Acceptable Targets|Wall Street]]; this is [[Hell]]. We have a little something called [[Take That|integrity]]!"}}
* [[Evil Brit]]
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: In a sense, to {{spoiler|the Trickster/[[Archangel Gabriel|Gabriel]]}}. He is a demon while the other is an angel. Both are [[Affably Evil]]. Both are the fifth season's [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Ensemble Darkhorses]]s. Both {{spoiler|help Dean and Sam}}. Both {{spoiler|resigned from their job in [[Hell]] and [[Heaven]]}}. And finally, neither of them {{spoiler|want the Apocalypse to happen}}.
** He's also this to Castiel, in that neither wants the Apocalypse to happen, both help the Winchesters, and both get cast out from their respective groups based on the previous two facts.
*** Both he and Castiel also try to introduced a new way of doing things to demons and angels, respectively, only to be met with opposition.
Line 1,013 ⟶ 1,053:

* [[Blessed with Suck]]: ''All'' of them.
Line 1,042 ⟶ 1,083:

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

=== Lenore ([[Amber Benson]]) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Offscreen, but in Season 6 Eve uses their mental link to make her nest feed on humans.}}
* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]: Gordon does this to Lenore when he captures her in "Bloodlust".
Line 1,063 ⟶ 1,106:
* [[Vegetarian Vampire]]: Her nest feeds off of cattle instead of humans to avoid be killed by hunters. She forbids one of her vampires from killing Sam and resists the urge to drink blood when Gordon cuts Sam's arm over her face.
 
=== Pamela Barnes (Traci Dinwiddie) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Blind Seer]]: She becomes blind after seeing [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form|Castiel's true form]].

=== [[God]] {{spoiler|/ Chuck Shurley (Rob Benedict)}} ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[All Powerful Bystander]]
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: It's revealed in "Dark Side of the Moon" that {{spoiler|He was the one who rescued Sam and Dean and resurrected Castiel in "Sympathy for the Devil."}}
Line 1,084 ⟶ 1,129:
* [[Man in White]]: {{spoiler|At the end of "Swan Song" where Chuck is implied to be Him.}}
 
=== [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse|The Four Horsemen]] -- War ([[Titus Welliver]]), Famine (James Otis), Pestilence (Matt Frewer) and Death (Julian Richings) ===
'''A description of the characters goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by these characters include:}}
* [[Bad Boss]]: {{spoiler|Famine}} either uses the demons under his orders as sacrifice or as lunch.
* [[Cool Car]]: Each one of them has one. War has a red Mustang, Famine has a black Chevy, Pestilence has a greenish-grey Pinto, and Death, the last we see, has a white Cadillac Eldorado.
Line 1,099 ⟶ 1,145:
** He may be Death now, [[Slings and Arrows|but Julian Richings used to be a gravedigger]].
** Don't forget [[Eureka|Jim Taggart]] as Pestilence.
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: War thinks that we only need a little push to all kill each other, and Famine is not a big fan of our tendencies for always wanting more than what we can handle. Pestilence considers that bacteria and microbes aren't chaotic or destructive; ''we'' are. At least, Death is not so hard; he just sees us as incredibly insignificant.
* [[Master of Illusion]]: War uses his ring to confuse two groups of humans by making them think that members of the other group are demons.
* [[Plaguemaster]]: Pestilence.
Line 1,107 ⟶ 1,153:
* [[Smug Snake]]: War.
 
=== Death (Julian Richings) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: Seems to operate this way.
* {{spoiler|[[Captured Super Entity]]: In Season 5, he is magically bound to do Lucifer's bidding. In Season 7, Dean and Sam bind him to their will.}}
Line 1,130 ⟶ 1,177:
* [[No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine]]: Death offers Dean a seat and a meal in the first two episodes they meet. He's very civil about it.
* [[Non-Malicious Monster]]: Death isn't interested in Lucifer's plan for bringing about the [[The End of the World as We Know It|Apocalypse]]. He's not terribly interested in Earth, as it turns out...but it doesn't stop him from killing everyone in the restaurant where Dean meets him, apparently just by his ''presence''.
* [[The Omniscient]]: He appears to be this, although there are limits to his knowledge (such as ''assuming'' instead of already ''knowing'' what Sam, Dean, and Bobby summoned him for in episode 7x01, and surprise at being informed that they want him to kill "God" -- i—i.e. {{spoiler|Castiel}}). If not absolutely, he is at least functionally omniscient.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Death is much more level-headed and temperate than his "brothers," even though that doesn't stop him from being [[Deadpan Snarker|sarcastic]].
** In the first episode of Season 7, he even gives the Winchesters advice on what to do after they bound him, which is what he was so angry at {{spoiler|Lucifer about that he told them how to defeat him. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|And brings an eclipse to aid in the spell to open Purgatory a second time]]}}. He's arguably the most reasonable super-powered being on the show. {{spoiler|Though he did say he'd kill them if they ever tried to bind him again}}.
Line 1,144 ⟶ 1,191:
* [[Touch of Death]]: Obviously.
 
=== Alpha Vampire (Rick Worthy) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass Boast]]: "When your kind first huddled around the fire, I was the thing in the dark. Now you think you can hurt me?"
* [[The Dreaded]]: The Winchesters haven't forgotten the fact that it took twelve hunters (most of whom died) to bring him in the last time and treat the situation with the appropriate gravity.
Line 1,164 ⟶ 1,212:
* [[Too Kinky to Torture|Too Badass To Torture]]: "Ouch. Stop. That hurts." All in slightly-bored deadpan.
 
=== {{spoiler|Dr. Eleanor Visyak (Kim Johnston Ulrich)}} ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Originally introduced as {{spoiler|a contact of Bobby's}}, she's revealed at the end of Season 6 to be an escapee from Purgatory, and the only one who knows how to open a portal there.
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]
Line 1,172 ⟶ 1,221:
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]
 
=== Eve, the Mother of All (Julia Maxwell, {{spoiler|Samantha Smith}}) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Phoenix ash is her only weakness. {{spoiler|Even if phoenix ash has been drunk by Dean; that blood is lethal to her due to phoenix ash being in it.}}
* [[Assimilation Plot]]: In "Mommy Dearest," we find out that her ultimate goal is to {{spoiler|turn all humans into hybrid creatures, so that all their souls will belong to her in Purgatory and denying any to Crowley}}.
Line 1,196 ⟶ 1,246:
* [[Woman in White]]
 
=== Leviathans -- Dick Roman (James Patrick Stuart), Dr. Gaines (Cameron Bancroft), Edgar (Benito Martinez), Chet (Sean Owen Roberts), Agent Valente (Morgan David Jones) ===
'''A description of the characters goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by these characters include:}}
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: The only way to kill a leviathan is to {{spoiler|stab it with a bone of a righteous mortal dipped in the blood of a fallen angel, the King of Hell and a father of the fallen beasts (an alpha monster, the first of a monster species)}}. This weakness is fairly hard to use against them because of meeting the above conditions and that they managed to keep it a secret until "Reading is Fundamental". As for their other weakness, see [[Weaksauce Weakness]] below.
* [[Big Bad]]: For Season 7, more specifically Dick Roman.
* [[Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu]]: {{spoiler|Turns out killing a Leviathan drags the nearby souls who killed them into Purgatory.}}
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Dick Roman, the man possessed by the head leviathan, is one of the richest men in America, and since his possession has slowly started becoming the most powerful, via multiple massive corporate takeovers.
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Despite being [[Smug Snake|Smug Snakes]]s, Dick Roman and the Leviathans have their moments. For example, when the Winchesters are gathering what they need {{spoiler|to kill the Leviathans -- a bone from a righteous mortal and blood from a fallen angel, the King of Hell, and an Alpha monster}} -- Dick—Dick summons {{spoiler|the current King of Hell, Crowley,}} and traps him in his office, therefore {{spoiler|ensuring that the Winchesters need to go into his office before they can finish the weapon.}}
** Gets better in the finale, {{spoiler|as Dick has several other Leviathans copy his identity, so the Winchesters don't know which one to attack.}}
* [[Demonic Possession]]: They take control of {{spoiler|Castiel, or at least hijack his vessel Jimmy,}} at the end of the Season 7 premiere. Noticeable was the change in tone of voice from {{spoiler|Castiel's [[Badass Baritone|deep monotone]]}} to one that sounds more like an insane version of {{spoiler|[[Misha Collins]]}}'s normal voice.
Line 1,212 ⟶ 1,263:
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: Most of them tend to come across as this.
* [[Fight Off the Kryptonite]]: Dick Roman pulls a villainous version of this trope by enduring a sustained barrage of {{spoiler|borax-based cleaning products}} by the Winchesters long enough for him to catch up to them and fire the shot that {{spoiler|ultimately killed Bobby Singer}}.
* [[Hero-Killer]]: Just ''one'' of these guys (Edgar, who's implied to be little more than a [[Mook Lieutenant]]) delivers a worse beating on the Winchesters than they've ever received on the show, with the (possible) exception of Lucifer. Afterwards, Dean actually calls an ambulance, which -- aswhich—as the [[Television Without Pity]] recapper pointed out -- heout—he's never done before in the entire series' run.
** As of {{spoiler|"Death's Door"}}, [[Big Bad|Dick Roman]] has successfully killed {{spoiler|Bobby Singer}}.
** In "Reading is Fundamental", a lone leviathan is revealed to be able to slaughter {{spoiler|angels}} with disturbing ease.
Line 1,237 ⟶ 1,288:
** Also, {{spoiler|"Cas is gone. He's dead. We run the show now."}}
** And from "Reading is Fundamental", "Rock beats scissors...{{spoiler|leviathan beats angel}}."
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: When Dr. Gaines' plan to use drugged fast food to make humans more complacent draws unwanted attention, Roman kills him -- byhim—by forcing him to ''eat himself.''
** Turns out this is standard protocol -- unlessprotocol—unless you've ''really'' managed to piss Dick off, in which case he'll just eat you himself.

=== Agent Victor Henrickson (Charles Malik Whitfield) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Back for the Dead]]}}
* [[Badass]]: All it took was a ''phone conversation'' with Dean for the Brothers Winchester to realize how screwed they were. Though this came dangerously close to a [[Creator's Pet]]-type conversation.
** [[Badass Beard]]
** [[Badass Normal]]: Arguably even moreso than the other [[Badass Normal|Badass Normals]]s in the series since Hendrickson does not have the occult knowledge they do.
* [[Determinator]]
* [[FBI Agent]]
Line 1,275 ⟶ 1,329:
* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]: To ''standard operating procedure'' in his first appearance.

=== Becky Rosen (Emily Perkins) ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: How Sam regards her.
* [[Audience Surrogate]]: She's a Winchester fangirl with little respect for boundaries, such as the ones between the fictional characters in the "Supernatural" novels and the actual people she meets. For some reason, she's not very popular in the fanbase.
Line 1,336 ⟶ 1,394:
* {{spoiler|[[Love Makes You Crazy]]}}
* [[This Loser Is You]]: She is basically a [[Take That]] to the more rabid [[Fan Girl|fangirls]].
